Mainframe Developer

Infosys typically conducts a three‑stage interview process for Mainframe roles: an online assessment focusing on aptitude and basic coding, followed by a technical interview that probes deep knowledge of COBOL, CICS, DB2, and problem‑solving abilities. The final HR round assesses communication, cultural fit, and career goals. The difficulty is moderate to high; candidates should practice mainframe concepts, mock coding tests, and be ready to discuss past projects clearly.

Infosys is recognized for its collaborative and learning‑centric culture, offering employees access to cutting‑edge technologies and continuous upskilling programs. The company promotes a balanced work‑life environment with flexible timings, remote work options, and clear pathways for career progression.

Graduates with a Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Technology, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Computer Applications (or equivalent Master’s degrees). Minimum aggregate of 60% (or CGPA 6.0/10). Eligible batch years: 2022‑2026. Maximum of 2 active backlogs allowed at the time of application; no backlogs at final year. Candidates must have a valid GATE/CSIR score (optional) and be willing to travel as per project requirements.

Round 1: Online assessment – aptitude (logical reasoning, quantitative) and coding (COBOL/Java basics). → Round 2: Technical interview – deep dive into mainframe concepts, problem‑solving, and past projects. → Round 3: HR interview – cultural fit, communication skills, and career aspirations.
